Hej, hej! Oh, crap.

Good god. I swear I'm the only person I know who can lose a wallet in a foreign country.

Yup, that's me with no money.

Yup. Yesterday when we were in the city in Luleå I dropped my damn wallet and couldn't find it. I cancelled my debit and credit cards and my check card for my ING account. I called the international collect call number for Wells Fargo and they are going to FedEx cards to me here in Sweden. You have no idea how many times I had to spell the street name "Gnejsstigen" to the southerners on the phone. Heh. They kept adding all kinds of extra letters.

Your word is "Gnejsstigen"

Our friend Joey (an American from Jersey who is the actual owner of Georgia & Per-Erik's dog, Bailey) left his wallet on the bus once and not only did someone turn it in to the police but all his cards and money were still in there. So Monday morning we'll go to the police station in town and see if someone turned it in. Otherwise I will have to get a new license when I get home (and gas rewards card for Cub!!). They can have the $2USD and the 40SEK in the wallet, but it'd be nice not to have to replace everything else in there. Cross your fingers someone turned it in, OK?

The good news is that I'm still healthy and alive and I had a place to stay and I'm with people who can spot me some cash if I need it before the cards get here. So, ultimately, everything's going to be OK, I am just pissed off at myself for losing it.

*Insert favorite curse words here*

Today we're headed to the Jokkmokk! I get to see REINDEER and meet Sami people! I'm so excited! I will post pics here, later....

About Me

This is a story about me and my journey toward making myself into a brand new me (well, parts of me--most of me is totally awesome already). I don't believe I'll inspire anyone to greatness or anything, mostly this is to amuse you (my friends and family) and give me a little bit of accountability--if I'm updating this it means I'm still doing what I promised myself I would. SO really, just as in life, I'm just using you all in this blog for my own, personal gain.
